Random question ('cos one of you was wearing one), what do you think of the Astral Green jacket compared to the 300 and the new Palm one? Worth the extra dollar?

I can't compare but I will say that I have the Astral 300 and a Palm Stikine drysuit and the PFD is almost impossible to get over the back zipper of the drysuit without assistance. It sucks. Next time I am getting a Kokatat drysuit with a front zipper.

I think someone else said it best: "FKNA!!" That's the kind of hairy shit I usually portage around....and you guys manage to go right through it. I see why you need the motocross forearm guards! UBER-CRAZY!!!
I like this pix...seems to speak of the spirit of the day:
There was a race about a week and a half ago, someone managed to get some quality action of the dude in the old school playboat showing the exciting line on Brave Bear. Quality,

Double-D drysuit with Astral Greenjacket is good to go.

Kokatat GMER is The One.
IR drysuit with Entrant fabric: $840
GMER with 100% Gore-Tex: $995
$145 well spent.

I hate front zippers and I think Gore-Tex has brainwashed people into believing that its the only W-B laminate out there. But hey, its your money!
